My Daisy colleague Rob shot this. It’s Ben Mulroney and me talking about protecting NAFTA on CTV’s Your Morning. Him, the son of the guy who ushered in free trade, and a ghostly-looking me, the Chrétien guy, defending his father’s greatest legacy.
Life is full of such ironies.
This is the best thing I have ever seen on the Internet. https://t.co/KNs5GiDDUA

…and, long term, I don’t think that’s so good for that candidate – running, as he is, to be mayor of Canada’s most diverse city.
And it’s not an outlier, either, by the by: the far Right have made a clear decision. The proof is right there in plain view.

From Allen J., from my piece in HuffPo:
Preliminaries done, MacEachen rendered his advice. I didn’t take notes, but I never forgot what he said.
“Two things,” he said. “Don’t stay longer than two years. You will grow cynical, and that will hurt you and it will hurt the ones you serve.”
He paused.
“The ones who stay longer than two years ultimately become glorified bag-carriers.”

We’ve worked for Sears Canada in the past, so this reported effort by Brandon Stranzl to save the company – and the jobs and pensions of several thousand Canadians – is of more than passing interest to me. The fact that Stranzl gave all of his retention bonus (some $300,000) to pensioners suggests that this guy has his priorities straight, too.
On a bad news day for retail, hats off to the folks who are working to reverse the trend. Worth supporting.
